Khard

khard is a adressbook that runs in your terminal. To sync the data using CardDAV you'll need vdirsyncer aswell.

Setup

Arch Linux

  • pacman -S khard vdirsyncer - Install needed programs

Configuration

  • Edit the ~/.config/vdirsyncer/config.
    • Insert the following lines:
      [general]
      status_path = "~/.cache/vdirsyncer/status"
      
      [pair private_contacts]
      a = "private_contacts_local"
      b = "private_contacts_remote"
      collections = ["from a", "from b"]
      
      [storage private_contacts_local]
      type = "filesystem"
      path = "~/.local/share/pim/contacts"
      fileext = ".vcf"
      
      [storage private_contacts_remote]
      type = "carddav"
      url = "https://<url>"
      username = "<username>"
      password = "<password>"
      auth = "basic"
      
  • vdirsyncer discover && vdirsyncer metasync - Initialize vdirsyncer
  • vdirsyncer sync - Synchronize the addressbook (put this into a crontab to update periodically)
  • Add and configure a config for khard
    • mkdir ~/.config/khard - add a directory for the config
    • cp /usr/share/doc/khard/khard.conf.example ~/.config/khard/khard.conf - Copy the example configuration
    • Adjust khard.conf to your needs
